Part One
Red, yellow, turquoise, pink ahhhh all the colors of the houses on the Paraguayan countryside are wonderful. We are swoshing by cows, cheep, chickens and a few dogs here and there. The landscape is very flat and so amazingly lush in every green shade imaginable. Finally got on the bus from Ciudad del Este after two other busses and t...

I had called ahead to reserve a room, and she had one. When I arrived at the bus station, I asked a cabbie how much to the Pension, and I thought it was too much, so I jumped on a collectivo, and off I went. Luggage and all! I got off the bus too early and was lost, so asked at a fire station where to go. Well, a very nice young lady babysat me ...

Bussing and Pedalling from Asuncion to the San Rafael Reserve for the official start. And backpack theft: Pre-tour training has already become one of the most incredible adventures of my life. Here's the lowdown: -Visited more than 10 Peace Corps Volunteers in their amazing sites, bicycling off the map a few times. -Visited some of the biggest w...

Another hot and sticky day in Paraguay... This is one of those days we call "organising days", where we decide where to go the next few days and try to make all the arrangements. For those of you still in possession of mobile phones, blackberries, wi-fi connections, broadband internet...i.e. communications at hand, the above will sound strange, ...

Woke earlier than 830 but that´s when I became active, only to go back to bed till 930. If I wanted to make free breakfast I had to be in the dining room by 1000 so I was.

Although I do have to wait until Monday during office hours to get them. Nonetheless I'm excited to see what American treasures I have awaiting me! I have been in site for...

We made it! It has been a busy last four months. Simon spent a lot of time painting a world map on the basketball court he had built at the school in Yataity. He also built a fogon at the school in San Ramon, and helped Chris and Marissa build their new house. Chris and Marissa are new volunteers that just moved to San Miguel in December, only 6...

I have been in Asuncion today all day. I am trying to get the last little bit of clearance needed in order for them to sign off on my departure. However, it doesn't look like I will be coming home anytime soon. You know...you just can't come to a third world country and not get some parasites....what would that be like? It's just jiardia...the d...
